Retired from all stages in 2008, legacy up there with haney and Arnold, with a good pile of $.
dead

Retired from all stages in 2010, legacy up there with nasser haney and Arnold, with a GREAT pile of $.

This isn't a "me vs Ronnie thread"...no one is "owning" anyone...It was a comment and my opinion on a guy who is arguably the greatest BB in history, and whether he is going to compete again...

bob,

This is one of the few times i agree with you.
Ronnie is not exactly adding value to his stock.
The couple of $1k he makes guest posing pale in comparison to the loss in respect for a former great champion looking like a pile of sh*t
just to squeeze a buck out of the fans.

The only problem is that unlike Haney and Yates, Ronnie can't exactly hold seminars.
I can't imagine anyone actually paying to liste to him talk, so they can go home and share "what they learned from ronnie".

ronnie realizes this, so in the end he is doing what is right for him. I guess.

All I can think of is Mike Tyson, and the legacy he left behind...or lack therof.

Certainly not making direct comparisons, as Tyson did time and other assorted sundry things....but it's the idea that he should have been remembered for being one of the greatest heavyweights in history, but all he'll be remembered for is being a nutjob and his wacky antics and his boxing career and being the champ will take second seat...

I would just hate to see a great champ like Ronnie fade away and start placing poorly in shows not at the Olympia level....

No need to compete,nothing to prove...can continue to make appearances, etc and stil be "the champ"...

Part of reason that men like Henry Aaron, Micky Mantle, Joe Damigio (baseball), Joe Louis ( boxing ) and
Lee Haney ( Mr O) are so respected is that they knew when to retire and make appearences instead.
Going out on top is tough to get right. Even Arnold made a bit of a blunder by comming back in 1980 at less then his best and winning a controversial Olympia.

Why do you say he can hold no seminars?

I hope Ronnie is not addicted to attention and that he is wise enough to stop with his bodybuiling carreer. He just has been around long enough and he is not an example into which direction bodybuilding should go. I saw Ronnie on stage at the FIBO in April this year and he again looked like a 'pig': way too fat, pregnant of two twins and with no symmertry anywhere.

I've been to seminars that Ronnie has been a part of, and I would agree he can't hold them.

He comes across as a very nice guy, but definitely not the type to hold them by himself.

Chicks got a good point, as much as i am a ronnie fan, i wish he retired after his last olympia win.  I think he needs to realize the legacy thats at stake!

BBing isnt a real sport.   Legacy dont mean anything in the real world outside the cult following.  If Ronnie can pick up $250K a yr for next 4-5 yrs doing shows, posing and sponsors, then he should do so.  I'd still sponsor him over the mix bag of useless bbers out there at the moment.  Anyway...he loves it and has to pay for his woman now.

Oh...Monica!
